Regarding TPI, it went sideways after you guys jinxed it. But anyway, I think I can see a right angled triangle formed since 18-8-05, with price target now 4.60. Annual results are due to be announced this Wednesday, so interesting to watch.

One of the company's businesses is to sell reprocessed waste oil to Shell and Mobil, who then blend it with their diesel and sell it at gas stations around Australia. The price TPI get for this oil is dictated by the crude oil price, so it's a very good business of late. They also get govt. incentive payment of a certain cents per litre of oil reprocessed.

Yes before I had downloaded.
Its a bit thin and Ive noticed subject to a few swings like this.
Takes a while to brake to another level.
I've also noticed that when it has a severe drop that it seems to have enough support to crank it back towards its open by the end of the day.

A case of 3 steps up and 2 steps back.

Sadly I bought yesterday at 4.51.

Someone sold a mammoth parcel after the market closed Friday, which dropped the price 16 c, and accounted for over half the volume for the day. Might prove to be a good time to buy.

Tech/a, I can see you drew your trend line based on 2 points touching it. Doesn't this go against the principle that trend lines should touch the maximum no. of points to validate the trend line. There are two other moer steeper lines that can be drawn as the trend line, but I agree that in any case the trend line has been broken. And that breaking support around 4.05 would be a sell signal. Also there is some chance a change of polarity may still occur and 4.43 level will act as a support, in which case this would be a positive sign. If neither of these occur, it will stay within the band between these levels.

Now I just have to work out how to paste charts onto this forum.

A tentitive trendline can be drawn from any 2 points.
A trendline is validated by 3 or more points of contact.
So strictly speaking I have drawn a line connecting 2 points which indicate the direction of the longer veiw move.

You are correct with the purist veiw and ofcourse more points of contact would validate that trend.
In the wash up of it all I dont think it really matters.
I draw a number of trends on a chart.
Primary secondary and immediate.

TPI has teamed up with CHAMP to buy Brambles and Industrial Services division. I wonder how much they could get the assets for. Serious investment here.

But do u think that has been incorporated in the price already?

I wish I knew. The SP hasn't moved since the CHAMP partnership was announced. Boils down to when insiders knew of this new strategy and compare to the price action.

There are other bidders for the Brambles division so no guarantee TPI/Champ will get it.

Bio-diesel is their next project. This ties up nicely with the diesel they produce already from waste oil, so fits in nicely with their business. They also have a truck fleet which will use this as a fuel. They are building a hydrotreater for diesel on the NSW central coast too, so it is all happening.

Transpacific drives waste industry shake-up
Date : 09/04/2006
Reporter: Alan Kohler

ALAN KOHLER: In the recent flurry of takeover activity, the big $770 million merger between Transpacific Industries and its trans-Tasman rival, Waste Management New Zealand, has pretty well flown under the radar. While it's still to be formally approved, it's part of an extraordinarily rapid and aggressive consolidation of the waste management industry by Transpacific since it was floated last year. It also strengthens the company's position for the biggest catch of all - the Brambles' Cleanaway and Industrial Services divisions, which are on the block for, as some analysts are tipping, well over $1.5 billion. I spoke to the driving force of the waste industry shake-up, Transpacific's founder, major shareholder and executive chairman, Terry Peabody, from his Brisbane headquarters.

Terry Peabody, I count about half a dozen press releases about acquisitions since you floated Transpacific last year, culminating in the current bid for Waste Management of New Zealand. Is there any danger of making too many bids, of growing too fast, of getting indigestion?

TERRY PEABODY, EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, TRANSPACIFIC INDUSTRIES: Not really, Alan, I think something you need to realise is that this has been our mode for a number of years and actually, the New Zealand acquisition will be our 18th in the last year. But we've been traditionally doing this by taking on small, bolt-on acquisitions somewhere between $5 million and $20 million and tying them into our group and this is - about half our growth has been through acquisition and about half through organic growth historically.

ALAN KOHLER: So is this sort of acquisition program what you had in mind when you floated Transpacific? Is this why you went to the market for capital?

TERRY PEABODY: Yes, it really was. And although of course we weren't aware that the New Zealand transaction would occur, we certainly were aware that there was going to be opportunities to consolidate in the industry and it made a lot of sense to go public in that regard.

ALAN KOHLER: And you've said that your next plan is to bid for and win Cleanaway, the Brambles operation that's being sold. It's unusual to so publicly stalk another company like that. Why have you done that?

TERRY PEABODY: Firstly we thought we were the most natural to in that business, and once we joined with Champ, who we thought were certainly the most prominent private investor group in that arena, we felt that it made sense for us to go public and let people know that we were intent on this acquisition. Certainly our company has far more synergies than anyone else because we have operations throughout Australia. Every little town that you'll find a Cleanaway depot and office, you'll normally find Transpacific there. By combining Australia's leading and largest liquid waste company with Australia's leading and largest solid waste company, you're going to have a company that is set to service the industry and commerce at large like certainly no other one in Australia.

ALAN KOHLER: But usually bidders at an auction try to appear casual or disinterested, thinking the vendor will jack up the price if they don't. I mean, you sort of present a picture of somebody who's prepared to pay whatever it takes to get Cleanaway, is that the case?

TERRY PEABODY: Well, to a degree. I mean, we're certainly not going to do anything that doesn't make sense for the company in the long term, but certainly I believe we're the best position to give Brambles the best price for that business. We bought several other businesses from Brambles over the last couple of years and they've become very successful, the people are extremely content working for our organisation and some of their people are in very prominent positions in our company. So I think we've demonstrated to Brambles that we're extremely responsible in those acquisitions and we certainly could and would be with Cleanaway.

ALAN KOHLER: The waste management business in Australia is quite fragmented. Do you have a longer-term plan to consolidate the industry, leaving aside Cleanaway, and get growth that way?

TERRY PEABODY: We certainly do, but once we purchase Cleanaway, I think more the major consolidations, the bolt-on-type acquisition that we've been doing in the liquid waste business will be more appropriate. However there certainly is a great opportunity ahead with the sale of the NSW waste business that's currently owned by the government and that's a business that would be very accretive and very complimentary to the Cleanaway assets that exist so we'll of course be very interested in that as well.

ALAN KOHLER: And, just in general, do you picture your company in future, Transpacific, becoming a global player?

TERRY PEABODY: In time, well, certainly in Asia, I think more confined to Asia. I believe the European markets and the North American markets are reasonably well catered for in out industry.

ALAN KOHLER: Have you identified any potential candidates in Asia now?

TERRY PEABODY: Not of huge significance, although we are working on a transaction in Beijing to recycle waste hydrocarbon oil and we're - that's at early stages but that would appear that it may be a sizeable opportunity. We do have a small business in Singapore, one in Malaysia and one in Taiwan, but they're quite small and they are certainly not hugely successful at this point in time.

ALAN KOHLER: You started out in business collecting fly ash from government power stations and selling it to concrete companies. Is there anything that you're doing now that has similar characteristics to that? I'm thinking particularly of biodiesel or recycling organic waste into power generation. Is that sort of a line of thought you're now pursuing?

TERRY PEABODY: Yes, it certainly is. In fact, we're very close to announcing the purchase of a biodiesel plant for our operations here in Queensland. We collect roughly 20 million litres a year of waste cooking oil, which is a very good feed stock for biodiesel, so our intention is to build a plant here and utilise that feed stock and value-add to it by producing a high-grade biodiesel.

ALAN KOHLER: I guess you're a company that benefits from regulation. Would it be fair to say that as governments around the world increase their environmental regulations, your business will benefit from that?

TERRY PEABODY: No, that's certainly true. Probably 70 per cent of the liquid waste that we collect today, in 1988 when we started was being either illegally dumped or going to landfill sites and contaminating the landfill sites. But not only regulation, but the policing of that regulation has changed our whole program in that regard and changed our whole business, and this, of course, is what we believe will ultimately happen in Asia.

ALAN KOHLER: Just on a personal note, Terry Peabody, you started with nothing and made a billion dollars. Not many people do that. How did you do it - what's the secret of that?

TERRY PEABODY: I don't think there's any secret. I guess, probably - and I don't like to talk about personal wealth - but probably the success that we've had in business is related to taking advantage of opportunities when they arose. And so many people believe that opportunity will wait, but it won't and you can't plan the timing of opportunity either. So, I guess if you had to pick out a single fact, probably the fact that we've always taken advantage of opportunity no matter of the timing.

ALAN KOHLER: Apart from your 51 per cent of Transpacific, your family also has a number of other businesses such as wine-making and distribution and also importing heavy commercial vehicles and transport. Any plans to float these other businesses?

TERRY PEABODY: No, certainly not. Those are family businesses of long standing and we'll continue to keep them as family businesses.

ALAN KOHLER: We'll have to leave it there, but thanks very much, Terry Peabody.

TERRY PEABODY: Thank you, Alan.

The future of Australian waste management firm, Transpacific Industries, is under a cloud. Some analysts believe its failure to buy Brambles' Cleanaway and Industrial Services businesses creates strategic problems. On the other hand, there are those who point to the size of the integration task this would have posed and its impact on earnings. The waste management sector comprises many small businesses, which means there are still buying opportunities for Transpacific. The company itself concedes that slower growth will create more value for shareholders over the medium to long term

Transpacific Industries and CuDeco have both enjoyed director share purchases in late July and early August 2006. Non-executive director John Richards acquired 300,000 shares in Transpacific between 27 July and 1 August, and another non-executive director, Bruce Brown, bought 15,000 shares on 1 August. The Australian waste management company suffered a 32% share price crash over the three months since early May, but began an upturn in early August after it announced a series of acquisitions. Meanwhile CuDeco chair Wayne McCrae acquired yet more of the colourful copper miner's stock, purchasing 16,700 shares on 26 July. On 4 August Transpacific closed at $A6.76 per share and CuDeco closed at $A3.15

Michael,

The only reason sp fell back from it's all time highs was due to the disappointment of Transpacific's failure earlier this year to buy rival Cleanaway.

It will more than make up for it with other acquisitions.

The industry is ripe for consolidation and the owner and Board are aggressive.

Some money has been taken off the table yesterday and I suspect today, possibly due to people needing funds to buy into resource stocks which are doing very well this week.

Article on 26 Sep in The Australian

TRANSPACIFIC Industries' stock price fell 3 per cent to $11.04 yesterday, which is the natural result when the buyer who accounted for some 52 per cent of the volume in the past week was absent.

The buyer, as noted yesterday, was company boss Terry Peabody, who picked up about $38 million worth of stock, because he thought it was ridiculously cheap.

Next month, Peabody will travel to the US as part of the planned roadshow to sell some $400 million in equity to US investors in a private placement.

But for the cynics who were tipping another share issue, Peabody confided to this column yesterday "there will be no new equity issue this year or next unless we have another big acquisition".

As for the $2 billion in debt to roll over in December, the company will wait until then to avoid the increased funding costs, which will add some $14 million to the interest bill, with the spread over Libor to increase 30 to 100 basis points.


Looking forward to the road show.

Article on 26 Sep in The Australian

TRANSPACIFIC Industries' stock price fell 3 per cent to $11.04 yesterday, which is the natural result when the buyer who accounted for some 52 per cent of the volume in the past week was absent.

The buyer, as noted yesterday, was company boss Terry Peabody, who picked up about $38 million worth of stock, because he thought it was ridiculously cheap.

Next month, Peabody will travel to the US as part of the planned roadshow to sell some $400 million in equity to US investors in a private placement.

But for the cynics who were tipping another share issue, Peabody confided to this column yesterday "there will be no new equity issue this year or next unless we have another big acquisition".

Well I sold out last week at 11.13 for better opportunities.
I think the US market is heading for a correction, or at least due for one.
I don't want to be left holding the bag.
Peabody's buying has dried up.
Share price won't do much in the short term anyway, at least not until they get the debt levels manageable. Peabody buying doesn't mean there will be price appreciation in the short term. He is a long term investor and was working on these deals for 10 years prior to floating half the company.
I just think parking money into TPI at this time, isn't smart. As I said there are stacks of resource companies with huge upside that just can't be ignored.

Here is what i feel about the company,

1. Well Chairman bought $45m of shares i believe this is exceptionally cheap, i don't think he would be buyign $45mil in hope to lose it right?? In the short term we may not see any difference but medium - long term we might see something significant.

2. The takeover of Cleanaway makes them a dominate player in the game and i am sure there will be streamlined too with good synergies, cost savings and market power.

3. The major shareholders are are huge with Tandom Pty Ltd with 19.5%, Brenzil Pty Ltd 17.93%, and Filmore Ltd with 10.46%, looks like some people really like the company

4. Technically TPI is looking pretty good, MACD is heading up since mid Aug and has just crossed the 0. Got some good volume lately especially the flay break on the 24th Sep, pretty bullish sign. Up 1% edging to breakout of $11.50 ressitance.

They are my thoughts only.

Anyone have any other thoughts technically??

Nice chart Dutchy.

The GMMA was quite useful for me when I was trading the uptrend.

Unfortunately held on too long and gave away a fair amount of profit.

I still think this will test recent lows in Aug and Sep.

I'd like to see the averages converge first before buying in. At least that is what Guppy teaches.

I would think this industry will see investors flock to it, as there will always be waste generated and therefore needing processing, regardless of whether there is a recession in the US and slows growth elsewhere.

With the trend now being to hammer any company with an above average level of debit on its books - does anyone think that TPI could be one of the next ones up on the chopping block?

I hold myself but am beginning to feel that I need to tighten my stops up on it as its sliding and might pull an Allco or MFS anytime soon.

Cannot see it is going to go down much further. TPI is making lots of money. They have recently confirmed profit guidance.

Brokers have their valuations still around and above $13.

They will do well since their operations are all in Oz and whilst business is doing well, waste will be produced.

TPI also have Nationwide Oil, which sells recycled oil which can be blended into diesel. Raw material is free for them as they have truck collection service which picks up the waste oil from around the country. The price they sell it at follows the oil price. This business was profitable 6-10 years back when the price of oil was low, so imagine what it is making now.

I have been watching this one for some time and have held it in the past (made a small amount out of it) but I think that it should have a good future as it is a growing product and as councils want increased recycling etc there may be a good chance for growth. The price at the moment is looking good (but that is just my thoughts so do your own research as I am often wrong).

TPI up 28% from it's bottom of $6. :bounce:

Not really sure why it is going up, prehaps interest rates in a heavy decline takes the heat off their enormous debt.

As for the exit stratergy, simple really. 20% profit in 3 days was worth locking in. Also, this was one of my first purchases in 15 months, and still a little tentitive and unsure. The debt worries me alot but the stock came off so hard it was worth a trade imo. 40% + growth rate in all major indicators made it enticing!

In hindsight I should have held the stock, but happy with my profit.

TPI debt:

$0.7b maturing in Dec 2009 (1 year out)
$1.4b maturing in Dec 2010 (2 years out)
$0.5b maturing in 2014 and beyond

Large debt can be good and bad?

Bad - Only recently due to banks less willing to rollover maturing debt, however is this only the case with businesses either directly exposed to the crisis, likely to see less demand for their product or profit forecasts being downgraded.

TPI is not impacted by any of these, so assuming banks have funding available which I believe the deposit guarantee is helping raise funds offshore I believe this wont be an issue for TPI.

Good - Rates have plummeted 3% odd recently, assuming TPI's 2.1b debt maturing in the next 2 years is on a floating rate their interest cost most likely fell by $50m+ pa.

TPI's net profit is running around $175m to benefit $930m (19%) in shareholder capital. Assume TPI replaced its debt with shareholder capital this would increase net profit to around $300m to the benefit of $3.5b in shareholder capital (9%). I hope they gradually reduce debt from profit rather than raise capital to do it. Capital gains will give us the returns we want.

I hope they stay in regular contact with their banks to ensure rollover wont be an issue - which I'm confident their doing.

I think investors are staying away from TPI for debt reasons only, so should debt concerns reduce or disappear TPI sp will quickly return IMO.

TPI is hungry for growth and with some businesses looking cheap I have no doubt that if they can get their sp back up over $5 they will pounce on competitors with a takeover using script. This could be good assuming they target the right companies.

The only bad news I see from a profit outlook is truck purchases are likely to be well down (hopefully offset by spare parts sales) and the price of oil has dropped impacting the energy division.

TPI sp has much further to go IMO.

Debt information was obtained from TPI's November 08 AGM presentation so I assume that is all. This post is my thoughts only please do not rely on it for its accuracy.

Disclaimer - I own TPI shares.

Thrive, you make a good point.
It's very easy to overdo the negative aspect of debt in today's circumstances and to conclude that financiers want all debt repaid as soon as it falls due. Banks need to continue to lend to creditworthy borrowers if they are to stay in business and make profits.
I'll be having a closer look at TPI.

Any particular reason why the TPI SP should be down 9% today?
My own guess is the market getting unnerved by capital raisings at big discounts, eg today's SUN announcement, and fears that TPI may need to do something similar.

I have it on my watchlist but waiting to see developments.

SP has taken a hit the last couple of weeks. High 3's and now $2.50. I got greedy on this one - nice profit now gone.

I put the slump in share price down to 3 things:

No news from the company recently - market treating no news as bad news
Market still hates debt - even more so for the reasons you mention above
TPI appears to attract short selling. Seems to average around 35-40% of shares traded each day and with relatively low volumes of shares traded can generated some panic selling.


These things on the back of talk of capital raising, falling demand for recycled material, drop in oil prices and likely fall in truck sales just makes it worse.

With all this I still hold (nervously). All these rate cuts should be offsetting some of the pain and hopefully past acquisition are starting to show some rewards.

Nice to see JPMorgan buying in.

A nervous wait to 25th Feb Half Yr.

Lucky you waited oldblue.

My nervous wait has come to an early end, unfortunately the announcement today was not what I wanted to hear and the market reaction even worse.:eek:

Amongst other things they blame higher interest costs in the second half - this was one area I thought would not be a problem - I thought only 300m odd was in USD, are their other loans also USD?

The one off losses whilst high are at least one off and interest from large investors could be a positive.

Today looked like a short sellers dream backed up by some panic selling. What will tomorrow bring? Hopefully some buying to reflect selling being over done.

NPBT of $93m less the $46m brings NPBT to $47m for the half. Assuming second half achieves somewhere near the $93m without any further one offs will see annual NPBT of $140 and a PE on today's price of 4. Market cap now down to $566m. Probably got these numbers wrong.

TPI need some more large investors for SP stability otherwise if they are forced to raise capital the SP is going to look very ordinary.

These figures and comments are based on my own thoughts and calculations and may not be accurate.

Still holding - yipeee.

Very dangerous place to put $, in my opinion. Look at current assit Vs Current liability
Look at non current asset(mainly goodwill) vs non current liability.

AFR article on the weekend speculating that a $800m raising @ $1.50 inc right issue and placement to PE is imminent.

based at this price, debt/equity would drop to 51%, interest cover to double to 5 times, 2010 PE of 7.3 times.

Also TPI benefiting from government exclusion of legacy waste from Carbon Pollution Reductio Scheme.

The amount of time this has taken is a concern for TPI. With funding hard to come by at present, we can only assume that TPI is not in the driver's seat in this negotiation.

Can't see how the rights issue would be at $1.50 though. I reckon it'll be a lot lower. The sp would surely have fallen below $1.50 by now if it had been trading.

I wouldn't touch it unless you want to gamble. The price is swayed by the private equity investors/owners in the business who want to hype the stock up to provide returns.

The company however continues to erode shareholder wealth, has high debt levels and issues more shares to dilute your holding. Current intrinsic value if you subscribe to such thing is around $0.13 per share so to buy at any of the current prices is paying about a 600% premium for a very risky stock.

Give it a few years once they have paid down their debt if the company continues to perform but chances are it will still be overpriced.
